Announcement of Ministry Conclusion00:00:00
Joe Artis Horn announces that after years of ministry, the SkyWatch TV board has decided to discontinue operations.

Transition Plan and Asset Management00:02:43
Regularly scheduled SkyWatch TV programs will continue to air through the end of the year.

The family affirms that their calling to serve remains active. They plan to restructure and focus on new kingdom initiatives, including child advocacy through social media and continued work with Defender Publishing.
